Connecting green minded people with our services.
I.
Research Push: Bringing research results into application.
The “Research Push” area empowers research practitioners and innovators, from students and PhDs to professors, to transfer research results into beneficial applications for society. greenCHEM pioneers targeted formats that enable the research community to utilise the broader potential of their knowledge and findings. This leads to innovative technologies that are pushed into the market with game-changing potential. Through greenCHEM, lab infrastructure and analytics is made available for green chemistry pre-foundation and spin-out teams.
II.
Industry Pull: Building industry on green chemistry.
In the "Industry Pull" area, real challenges from industry, which arise from the market's growing sustainability awareness, are the nucleus of innovations efforts. Close collaboration with industry ensures that the transfer activities are tailored to the current sustainability challenges of established companies with scalable potential. The goal is to work together to accelerate the pace that future green chemistry technologies are implemented into a company, with benefits for the company, the environment and society.
greenCHEM is actively working to update chemistry curricula to incorporate the crucial paradigm shift of green chemistry. Along with this, transferable entrepreneurial skills are promoted to create future scientists with a vision to also become innovators. This is urgently needed for future generations of chemists and is in response to calls from the student body to link their education in chemistry to the grand challenges of society that their generation is facing.
III.
Teaching: Never too early to become a green chemist and entrepreneur.
IV.
Further education: Never too late to bring green chemistry into your company.
The greenCHEM target area of further education aims to enhance the knowledge set of existing chemical industry workforces, upgrading traditional chemistry education with up-to-date ideas rooted in the principles of green chemistry. Positive environmental impact is essential and must happen fast, therefore greenCHEM promotes the future-proofing of the chemical industries, by opening up to innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
V.
Stakeholder: Green chemistry in dialog.
While greenCHEM works to motivate a chemical revolution towards environmental protection and sustainability through innovation and collaboration with industry, parallel stakeholder engagement work promotes the necessary dialogue to steer new solutions along a path of shared understanding with the public, private and state actors involved.
